An updated sysstat package that provides several bug fixes and adds anenhancement is now available.

The sysstat package provides the sar and iostat commands. These commands enablesystem monitoring of disk, network, and other I/O activity.

This updated sysstat package provide fixes for the following bugs:

* sar data set the maximum number of days in log files too high, which appendeddata from the previous month to the next one instead of replacing it. Thisupdated package resolves this issue and sets the maximum to 25 days. (BZ#609819)

* sysstat's programs such as mpstat wrongly interpreted the /proc data andshowed information about one fictive cpu. This update resolves this issue andthese fictive data are not displayed anymore. (BZ#609821)

* on ia64 machines, the output of sar -I ALL/XALL wrongly showed informationabout interruptions. This issue is resolved and the updated package does not usesar -I for this type of architecture. (BZ#609826)

* iostat -n used invalid data to create the statistic. The updated packageresolves this issue and the data source is now changed. Additionally, one newcolumn has been added. (BZ#609991)
